Job summary

Orion Placement is seeking an experienced plaintiff-side litigation attorney for a hybrid role in Downtown Los Angeles. Handle civil matters from pleadings through trial preparation, including depositions, motions, and discovery, with potential for leadership in complex cases.

Requirements include active California State Bar, 3+ years of civil litigation, and strong research and writing skills. Compensation ranges from $100,000 to $220,000 per year with profit-sharing and referral bonus

Qualifications

• Active California State Bar membership in good standing.

• Multiple independently handled depositions, including taking and defending depositions.
• Independent law and motion experience.
• Strong legal research, analytical, and persuasive writing skills.
• Ability to provide at least three substantive legal writing samples during the interview process.
• Plaintiff-side litigation, insurance coverage, insurance bad faith, property damage, wildfire, or mass tort experience strongly preferred.
